- `select_fees.php` - Fee selection page
- `student_payment.php` - Student payment processing page
- `uddoktapay_cancel.php` - UddoktaPay cancellation handler

### 2. Includes Directory Files

## Database Considerations

The following database tables related to payments were NOT removed to maintain data integrity:

- `fees` - Fee records

These tables contain historical data that may be needed for auditing purposes.

## Changes Made

### 1. Navigation Removal
- Removed "অনলাইন পেমেন্ট" link from student sidebar
- Removed "ফি নির্বাচন" link from student sidebar

### 2. Functionality Removal
- Removed all online payment processing capabilities
- Disabled UddoktaPay integration
- Removed fee selection functionality

### 3. User Interface Updates
- Updated "My Fees" page to show informational message instead of payment buttons
- Removed all payment-related UI elements

## Verification

All payment-related files have been successfully removed:
- ✅ Fees directory - Payment files removed
- ✅ Includes directory - UddoktaPay class removed
- ✅ Config directory - UddoktaPay configuration removed
- ✅ Admin directory - UddoktaPay settings page removed
- ✅ Sidebar navigation - Payment links removed
- ✅ My Fees page - Payment functionality removed

## Impact

### For Students
- No longer able to make online payments

### For Administrators

## Data Retention

All historical payment data has been preserved:

## Rollback Considerations

If payment functionality needs to be restored:
1. Restore the removed files from backup
2. Re-enable UddoktaPay configuration functions
3. Restore sidebar navigation links
4. Re-implement payment buttons on My Fees page

## Testing

The system has been verified to function correctly without payment functionality:
- ✅ My Fees page loads without errors
- ✅ Sidebar navigation works correctly
- ✅ No broken links or missing pages
- ✅ Database integrity maintained
- ✅ User experience unaffected for non-payment features

## Conclusion
