That's incorrect/incomplete. The Elisp manual says this, which is apparently correct: The function `frame-list' returns a list of all the frames that have not been deleted. It is analogous to `buffer-list' for buffers, and includes frames on all terminals. The list that you get is newly created, so modifying the list doesn't have any effect on the internals of Emacs. The doc string too should say that it is all live frames. And the manual should use the term "live" frame, since that is the term used by Emacs (e.g. frame-live-p): "returns a list of all live frames, that is, the frames that have not been deleted." Question: How to get a list of all frames, including dead frames?

There's no way provided to do that, just like there's no way to get the list of all cons cells. You can use an after-make-frame-function to register all the frames ever created into a list.
