Is it possible to save an IDE file without making a scetch book folder?
It is just annoying to floor all the work space with folder just for one file.

No.

How much space do you think a directory takes? It just an entry in the file allocation table. A directory takes NO disk space.

You can create a .ino file anywhere on your PC but the Arduino IDE won't recognize it as an Arduino program unless it is in a folder of the same name.
I don't use the Arduino IDE to edit my programs and I still have to create the appropriate folder when I want the IDE to compile and upload the code.
You can have other files in the program folder. If you have other .ino, .h, or .cpp files they will be included in your program. But if they have other filetypes the IDE will ignore them. I often include a .txt file with some notes for myself about how the program is supposed to work and about the peripherals I am using.
