What is this piece named and is there a non-destructive way to remove it? (slrpnk.net)

Hello, I'm trying to replace the power cord of an air fryer and there are these white caps that connect each leads. I would like to know if they can be removed without being destroyed, I quickly tried with flat pliers but it did no budge.

Some good points in the comments but the short answer is: No, that is a crimp on wire nut. You cannot remove it without destroying it. If you remove this crimp on connector do not try to reuse it as it will never be as reliable again.
