I create many views blocks and display them mostly with quicktabs or insert_view modules. I would like an option which allows me to not list the created views block on admin/build/block page, as that page has too many blocks listed already.

It could be a checkbox or a special block name on views settings under: Block settings > Admin

Well the whole point of the block display is to list it on the blocks page. Maybe quicktabs should provide a display that's just for it, thew ay Panels does, or just use the default view. But this setting would really confuse people.

Just a reference for creating your own embed views display. http://grndlvl.com/content/blog/2009/5/embed-views-display

I have almost hundred blocks, and the site is not finished yet. I really need to remove those views blocks, as the block admin page is unusable..

I will convert my displays to http://drupal.org/project/embed_views ... ... after #473786: Automatic theme template suggestion for new display types is fixed..

as another temporary suggestion you could hook_preprocess_page and remove the scripts from admin/build/block :)

or deactivate it on firefox

Ok, the embed_views works nicely now. Reduced my block count to 50.
The only problem is that I had to manually delete the views blocks from the block table after switching my block displays to embed style.
