Hi immortal,
a!refreshvariable is meant to be used with a local variable. and this data can be easily used in a gridfield or layout. The question is: what is your target?

You can't save any values into variables that use refreshAlways: true. The reason for this is that this behavior means that your variable is refreshed with every interaction. So even if we allowed saving into the variable, it would immediately be refreshed after saving and you would lose your changes.

Can you describe more about your use case (preferably with sample code and screenshots)? What is your goal? What have you tried?

I am creating a editable grid shows up list of files in a folder, there is a delete button on right sides of each of fv!item file, once delete the file, it could immediately disappear for that file name from the list, and also i am going to create an upload function button once finish upload it could be immediately shows up on the list which in the editable grid.

Btw, to be honestly ask, is appian going to last long?

In that case you don't need to use refreshAlways: true. Instead, just set up your grid so that when you click the remove button, it deletes the row in your list. This recipe shows how to add / remove data in a grid, and it doesn't require using refresh variables at all.
