If it is a hard, sharp cheese then it will keep a long time if tightly wrapped. The pre-sliced cheese like Velveeta or Kraft? It has been found in landfills after 10 yrs and was still edible.

When you buy your cheeses form the deli I suggest trading that packaging they give you to a Ziplock bag which I have found helps the cheese last longer. When you buy prebagged cheeses same rules apply and if your unsure if the bag it came in is sealable also place in Ziplock bag and all will be good.

Really hard cheeses like Parmesan can last weeks (months even if they're sealed tightly), as can cheeses that are brined like feta (as long as they stay soaking). Softer cheeses, and rind cheeses go bad much faster, as bacteria can spread more quickly through them (take a mild cheddar, or a Brie for example). I'd say a week or two as a guess, but just check for mold. With most cheeses, you can just cot off a dry or moldy part and eat the rest (if it's on a corner). It's only if you notice the mold is growing in several spots that you need to chuck it. It honestly depends on the cheese.
