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.

Gently squeeze the crimp, perpendicular to the previous crimp. That should allow a release of the wires. Would only reuse connector in a pinch. Badabam.
