Cut but don’t cut through. Or cut from the end of the hose so you don’t nick the barbed nipple end. Once there’s a break, use two needle nose pliers to tear the hose off the nipple without applying force to the nipple. It’s easier to bend the nipples than pull them off.
Alternatively you can cut radially below the barb. If you can get the section of hose above the barb to turn, it’ll likely pull off easily. Then cut the hose below the barb vertically. There’s little risk of leak from nicks below the barb.
