My box collection is getting a little out of control and hard to manage. How much will the value of my figures go down if I only keep the file cards?

If you have taken them out of the box already, it won't make much difference, if any. Keeping the empty boxes is pointless.
If they are currently unopened you stand to lose a big % on some figures, depending on the rarity. |

With collections of GI Joe, Transformers, and Lego I've had to limit what packaging I've kept. For the Joes (all 25th/Modern Era) I haven't been saving much of any of it except for figure cards with the file cards out. I clipped a lot of them out, then fell way behind on doing so and haven't got back to finishing.

If they're vintage obviously you're losing money, if it's 25th ME stuff, you might actually be saving money. I see people who spend more on loose 25th figures than carded ones with the common stuff cause the shipping is cheaper.

Let's not forget though, that eventually 25th etc will be vintage too... So, if they are unopened and you plan to sell them later, rather than sooner, perhaps they should stay that way.
