Is there a list of all popes in history?
There are many lists of all Popes in history, including the official Vatican English timeline of all Popes on The Holy See website.

Who was removed from official list of popes in 1961?
In 752 AD Pope elect Stephen wasn’t officially inaugurated but the Vatican sanctioned his inclusion in 16th century list of popes. In 1961 Pope elect Stephen was removed from the official list which is why you will see alternative suffixes for all the Pope Stephen entries after 752 AD in those pope lists.
