You can try WD40, it is also a solvent which most people have at home. My first go to would be to try and loosen the glue with a knife. If that does not work, you may need a solvent from the hardware store.
They should be on with screws look inside the draws for screws if not you have to pry them off maybe with a putty knife get under the handle
What type of glue is it (wood glue, Gorilla glue, cyanoacrylate, etc,)?
Every glue has a solvent. If they are glued, the solvent will work. Goo Gone works on many.
Here are a few steps you can try to remove glued-on hardware from kitchen cabinets:
Remember to use caution when removing glued-on hardware from kitchen cabinets, as the wood can be easily damaged.
If they are glued on with super glue finger nail polish remover should work.
I just dealt with this myself, and I regret trying a putty knife to pry it off first, because I scratched the painted finish. When I used a blow dryer to warm up the glue, I gave the drawer pull one good tap with a hammer and it came right off.
I agree, I would warm up the glue with a hairdrier first to see if that worked, then try WD-40 etc. before using a wallpaper scraper to try to lever them off.
Get a good heavy duty scraper. Slowly pry away and spray olive oil or other lubricant to help loosen the adhesive. I would stay away from solvents and alcohol as it can damage your cabinet finish.
It will be a slow process, exercising your patience.
