I had some issues with this. on multibranch pipelines Using getItemByFullName instead worked

def job = Jenkins.instance.getItemByFullName("jobname/branchname")

job.getBuilds().each {
  if(it.result == Result.FAILURE){
    // Delete failed job
    it.delete()
  }
}

That is because of the folder in the name, not only for multibranch.
So getItemByFullName is needed whenever you have folders.
