Remove all "Unapprove" , replace with "Disapprove"

Since unapprove is not an English word.

Unapprove is fine, IMO. Disapprove means to "have or express an unfavourable opinion". Unapproved means "not officially accepted or sanctioned", and although unapprove as a verb isn't common, disapprove really doesn't work. You don't disapprove something, you disapprove of something, it's an opinion not a statement of fact.

Being pedantic you'd need something like "revoke approval" to denote moving something from approved to unapproved status, but using "unapprove" as a verb seems more obvious to non-native speakers to me.

Opinions may vary :smile_cat:
