I watched the Kurgesagt video about smallpox and he gave a explanation by saying that the immune system took control and it eventually kills the virus,but if you can give a more in depth explanation about it becuese the virus was all over the body and it would have been very hard for the immune system to cope with it knowing that it caused so much damage

It would just do what it always does. it sets off a general immune response to detected problems, and just starts throwing antibodies around at random. Sooner or later the right antibody touches the virus, and then your immune system focuses on that and wipes it out.
Whether or not you survive depends on how fast that happened. Fortunately your immune system has had billions of years of practice doing this, so it will keep going no matter how much damage has been done.
