Removing entire object from JSON file based on key value pair - json

Question

I been struggling removing set-off objects from Json file. I tried with jq json parser method but nothing has worked out. Could someone please help on this.
What am looking for is – Wherever the below key and value pair are present in a file, the entire object should be removed.
{"name": "exception"}
Input:
{
"results": [
{

Answer 1

del(..|select(type=="object" and .name=="exception"))
Try it at https://jqplay.org/s/il12Ribpdb

Answer 2

walk(if type=="object" and .name == "exception"
then empty else . end)
Equivalently:
walk(select(type=="object" and .name == "exception" | not))
