A recycle-free directory entry system and method thereof applicable in a file system are provided. The file system uses one or more directory entries to record a unique file/directory name. The recycle-free directory entry method consists of plural directory entries stored in a storage device with a plurality of sectors, each sector only recording all directory entries corresponding to a unique file/directory. Each directory entry has a directory name field, a directory attribute field and a reserve field. The directory name field records a filename of a related file/directory. The directory attribute field records an attribute of the related file/directory. The reserve field records an identity byte, which indicates that all directory entries corresponding to the related file/directory are exclusively recorded in a single sector.
