flinging us off into space? pressuming of course that the earth kept spinnning at the same speed by some means.
what would be the approximate force in Newtons etc. and what direction?

I think it would be about 12 or maybe 3 or 4. The direction would be low and to the left.

There is no single answer to your question since a person standing at one of poles has no centrifugal force acting upon him. That force gradually increases until max at the equator.
Thus the answer would have to be an equation. Such an equation can be made. It shouldn't be too difficult. But, I myself am too rusty. I would have to study math again before putting it together.
This question would be a fun math project for a vacation.

Centrifugal force would be exactly what it is now. It wouldn't change, but we'd notice its effect because it wouldn't be overridden by gravitational force. I don't know the value but you'd be going for a ride.

0 gravity holds atomic structure together.
no gravity = no atoms = no earth = no more Harry Potter
